Bootcamp For 64 Bit To Run Os X On Driver Installation Your

Note that Apple provides a Boot Camp management tool in windows that is accessed (oddly enough) through the notification icon area of Windows in the far-right section of the taskbar.

Tutorial: Apple Boot Camp for 64-bit Windows 7 (including Macbook Air).

By the way, you WILL need a CDDVD drive that is supported on both operating systems.

In the case of the Air I recommend the excellent Apricorn portable CDDVD-RW drive, which only needs a USB cable for power.

I gave a larger partition to windows as it is my primary office software vehicle.

At some point, BCA (Boot Camp Assistant) will want you to insert your winodws 7 disk.

Step 2: Windows Installation Your DVD will gronk and the windows installation tool will start.

Select your boot camp partition and click on format to apply NTFS.

At this point you loose the title BOOTCAMP for the partition but we will rename it later.

On the Air, this puts you back into the Mac OS, so you will want to restart the mac and hold the option key down when you hear the bong and wait until it gives you boot partition options.

Double-click on the Windows harddrive to launch back into the installation.

Its important not to click ont he Windows DVD drive, which will also be an option.

Windows installation will continue and eventually allow you to log in.

You will have a very basic GUI because it does not yet understand the mac hardware.

Step 3: The Mac Drivers for Windows While logged into windows, and before you do anything else, insert your Mac OSX installation CD.

If an AutoPlay option comes up, do not launch setup.exe.

Instead, explore the CD and Enter its bootcamp folder.

Enter the Drivers folder, then the Apple folder and you will find two.msi files at the bottom: BootCamp.msi and BootCamp64.msi.

The Apple installation will take a while and occasionally ask for a security prompt.

Also, during the graphics driver installation your display may suddenly update.

Next, locate the NVIDIA folder and run the nvidiachipset64.exe file (leave off the 64 for 32-bit windows).

Make sure to hold the option key down in order to select the windows harddrive.

Step 4: Finalizing the Driver Installation You should have working wireless, keyboard (with backlight), and multitouch features, but we are not quite done yet.

Now, click on the windows start orb and in the search field enter windows update.

Select all available updates (including the optional ones) and let windows do its thing.

Here, click on the landscape theme because its my favorite:) This will also turn on the Aero graphical effects.
